As part of the Start festival for sustainability, IBM, a Water UK partner, will host a nine-day business summit to include links with water, from supply through distribution to consumption.
Launched by the Prince of Wales this summer, Start aims to show what a sustainable future could look like and to encourage the simple steps that we can all take to make it a reality.
The water industry will be represented at events round the country and take part in debates at the business summit - on resource efficiency, climate change, and the future governance and delivery of infrastucture services.
IBM's Smarter Energy for a Sustainable Future (9 September) will focus on how to move on from the 'when' and the 'what' to the 'how' of energy use, inviting government representatives, utility leaders, academics and industry professionals to formulate a set of actionable recommendations for the UK.
